Infrastruct

Process and distribute asynchronous tasks and merge their results.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'infrastruct'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install infrastruct

Define your worker with task as perform and merge results with collect.

class SquaredNumbersCollector
  extend Infrastruct

  def perform(number)
    number ** 2
  end

  def collect(numbers)
    numbers.inject(&:+)
  end
end

Create worker.

worker = SquaredNumbersCollector.create

Enqueue attributes for tasks.

worker.enqueue(1)
worker.enqueue(2)
worker.enqueue(3)

Run worker and wait for merge results.

sum = worker.result # => 1 ^ 2 + 2 ^ 2 + 3 ^ 2 = 14
